I suspect Buffalo will begin throwing the ball more, but the amount that they increase will likely still keep them in the bottom half of the league.
I'm not saying that because of the personnel changes they've had that they'll be more of a run based team...I think the fact that they threw more than they have in 10 years and failed to make the playoffs with a truckload of talent is why they'll be running the ball more. If you're running a lot, chances are you're going to be in the wins column more often than the losses column. I think they'll just take a step back from how much they threw it around the field last season.

Ryan Tier 4? Dont think the Douglas injury is gonna hurt his progress. Im looking for ryan to have a Peyton like breakout 2nd season and i disagree with Cutler at 6th.. just not enough weapons in Chicago

Ryan is good don't get me wrong but I think he'll be lucky to get 20 TD passes. They're not gonna sneak up on anybody this year and they have a tougher scheduel, I guess I just expect some growing pains.
I live in CHI and have been forced to watch the bears my whole life and this year is going to be espesially painful having to do that as a vikings fan. Hester made some big improvments last year converting to a WR nobody really noticed bescause Orton can't get the ball deep. Remember a few years ago when the bears made it to the superbowl? They were slinging it all over the field with Rex Grosman at qb. Cutler will make Hester WR1 material and hes got 3 very relaible guys underneath in TE's Olsen/Clark and RB Forte. All they are gonna need is maybe one more guy to step up(Bennet?) and they will be dangerous. Another thing about CHI is their defense is a shell of what it once was and they haven't really added anybody talent wise, sure they've made some changes to the coaching staff(Marinelli D-line and Lovie will be calling D plays) but if the players cant execute thats not gonna matter much. I expect them to be in far more passing situations than people realize.
